Interpreting Movement Manner
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a new paradigm in which a user can produce a wide range of expressive, natural-looking movements of animated characters by specifying their manners and attitudes with natural language verbs and adverbs. A natural language interpreter, a Parameterized Action Representation (PAR), and an expressive motion engine (EMOTE) are designed to bridge the gap between natural language instructions issued by the user and expressive movements carried out by the animated characters. By allowing users to customize basic movements with natural language terms to support individualized expressions, our approach may eventually lead to the automatic generation of expressive movements from speech text, a storyboard script, or a behavioral simulation.

Does your profile say it all? Using demographics to predict expressive head movement during gameplay
In this work, we explore the relation between expressive head movement and user profile information in game play settings. Facial gesture analysis cues are statistically correlated with players’ demographic characteristics in two different settings, during game-play and at events of special interest (when the player loses during game play). Experiments were conducted on the Siren database, whic...

Music is a complex multimodal medium experienced not only via sounds but also through body movement. Musical instruments can be seen as technological objects coupled with a repertoire of gestures. We present technical and conceptual issues related to the digital representation and mediation of body movement in musical performance. The paper reports on a case study of a musical performance where...
متن کاملDynamic text presentation in print interpreting - An eye movement study of reading behaviour
Print interpreting supports people with a hearing disability by giving them access to spoken language. In print interpreting, the interpreter types the spoken text in real time for the hard of hearing client to read. This results in dynamic text presentation. An eye movement study was conducted to compare two types of dynamic text presentation formats in print interpreting: letter-by-letter and...
متن کاملComputational approaches to motor control and their potential role for interpreting motor dysfunction.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Computational frameworks, notably internal models and optimal control theory, have led to rapid advances in our understanding of how the brain plans and controls movement. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of these theoretical ideas, how they have been used to interpret motor control, as well as their potential role for interpreting motor dysfunction.
